Question

A model of an atom shows eight electrons in rings that represent different energy levels. How many electrons are in each energy level?(1 point) Responses two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level zero in the first energy level, eight in the second energy level zero in the first energy level, eight in the second energy level eight in the first energy level, zero in the second energy level eight in the first energy level, zero in the second energy level four in the first energy level, four in the second energy level

Answer 1

In a typical atomic model, particularly for the first 18 elements of the periodic table, the energy levels can hold a specific maximum number of electrons. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, while the second can hold up to 8 electrons.

Based on the options you provided and the total of 8 electrons in your model, the correct distribution of electrons in the energy levels is:

Two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level.

So, the best response is: two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level.
